De Profundis

Arvo Pärt

A definitive collection of Pärt’s sacred choral works. Voices hang in vast, reverberant spaces like slow-moving clouds of incense and ancient light.

Moments Worth Listening For
The low, subterranean rumble of the organ pedals beneath the male voices on the opening title track.
The sudden, piercing clarity of the soprano entry during the Magnificat that feels like a physical weight lifting.
The rhythmic, syllabic precision of the Missa Sillabica where the silence between notes carries as much weight as the singing.
